Attaching cords to this device will place a LOT of strain on the connector to the phone. Can I use an 'extension cord' or will that prevent MHL? (e.g. will attaching a USB micro female to micro male extension cord between this device and the phone...

I had the same concern, bought a 5 pin extension and it did not pick up the device. I'm using a Samsung S4 Active, so I've got a port cover that seriously gets in the way, especially when my case is on the phone. One workaround I've accidentally found is that the tent-shaped portion at the top of the device pops off rather easily and fits much better.

The cord that comes with the unit has a USB plug at one end and what I believe is a Micro plug at the other (This "Micro" end is compatible with Samsung devices and probably many more). As long as you have a charging plug (comes with most devices these days) that the USB end of your device's charging cord plugs into, you should not need to buy any additional cords. If your device is not a Samsung, you should be able to use any device cord with this unit as long as the free end has a USB plug.

The device connects to you phone, then you use the USB Charger and connect that to the MHL, and then finally, the mhl connect to the TV using a seperate HDMI Cable (Sold seperately) Thank you, BuysPro

Just look on here(amazon) for an hdmi to Micro-USB cable.(thats what both of those kits are, over priced mhl cables.) It'll cost you about 7 to 8 dollars instead of the 60 or so pioneer tries to charge. That'll give you app radio compatibility. If you're just looking to run it off the phone as a file you can just plug in a data cable in the usb slot and use it that way. The important thing is to make sure your phone is mhl capable.

I am not familiar with your device. What I can tell you is that there are 3 USB ends. The standard is the common USB large end which the cable has atone end. There are also a mini and micro ends of which this cable is fitted with a micro. Check your device to see what it requires. These cables are not all that expensive remember. I'll guess that you device most likely requires a micro. http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=378 http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=377

I'm thinking so. There should be enough room to fit the cord into the the small flap that folds down for charging. I've been using an old-style extension cord w/o grounding that is flat on the charging-end, with two female adaptions on one side and one on the opposite side. I use the end of the twin side, as the single-side does not fit. But keep in mind, I'm plugging into the unit at a right angle; so you should be fine with the cord you're asking about, plus 6' is a great length.

The micro USB end ( female) on your HTC, the center piece gets bent just enough that even a new cord is not making contact with the four connectivity spots once that is bent no cords work, micro USB is outdated, not gonna be around long. Slightly bending the center post ( female on phone) may make this take charge. Also small pressure on new cord in upward or downward may make it charge. The ( female) phone side is in pockets and may need to be cleaned. Another simple fix, if it's not bent.

I used it plugged directly into outlet so I cannot say if it works with extension chord. I "think" I remember reading somewhere that it should be plugged into outlet. I am using it at my church and it works great bu I cannot just step down the hall and try it with an extension chord.Bruce J

I've used it with a variety of devices with no problem. This is a quality product, far superior to the flimsy dime store socket extensions that I've bought in the past. Unless there is something unique with your plugs, you shouldn't have any problem.

I use mine with an extension cord, just use a Heavy Duty Appliance Extension Cord ...

Good question, I noticed it depends on the cord. The earphones provided with the phone fit in perfectly of course, and so all other kind of earphones. So far I had trouble only when I wanted to attach the phone to some external speakers that had a slightly wider cord entrance, and in that case I should have removed the case to make it to work, but instead I had an extension cord that solved my problem. So I think in general for earphones you should be fine, while for other external devices like speakers you may need an extension or some extra attachment but that something easy to find.

I have 3 of them. I have one on two phone here at home. One in the office which would be commercial right. It only works with cord headpiece and nothing wireless. This is attach outside the phone and will probably work with everyone having a cord. I see not problems. I use them for years. Even with ones having amps on the phone to boost the "tone" not volume.

Not possible - Not advisable - There are two three pronged male plugs on the unit. To plug it into and extension cord would leave one open and be a shock and fire hazard.

I use it to keep plugged in when in gooseneck style cradle with USB power in base in car and usually don't stretch to more than about 18-inches. If I need to take it farther away than that I just unplug the phone so it's not being tugged on constantly while I'm using it. I use a bluetooth earpiece so I don't have to bring the phone all the way up to my ear. That all being said; after several months of constant use, it still is coiled as tight as when I received it.

With an such cord? Yes. Through USB it is dependant on the phone I found out.

I can see where that would be a problem if you are using some sort of docking station or stand. I do not have that issue because I just plug the cord into the phone through the hole in the case. I do not know of an adaptor that would help you.
